Menyoung’s research will focus on novel two-dimensional electron systems, and will explore their interactions with the environment and with each other. Professor Paul McEuen (Physics) is Menyoung’s faculty sponsor.

Marc’s research will focus on self-folding membranes based on 2D materials, ultimately building folded nanomachines that operate autonomously. His faculty sponsors are Professors Itai Cohen and Paul McEuen (Physics).

Dr. Xiaoxiao Zhang, PhD Columbia University (Physics)

Xiaoxiao’s research will focus on probing the light-matter interactions in low-dimensional materials, and specifically exploring the excitonic responses of nanomaterials. Her faculty sponsors are Professors Kin Fai Mak (LASSP) and Jie Shan (AEP).

Yehou Gnopo, Knight@KIC Fellow, 2016-17

The Kavli Institute at Cornell (KIC) is devoted to the development and utilization of next-generation tools for exploring the nanoscale world.

KIC Postdoctoral Fellows Program:

KIC postdoctoral fellows are high-profile, two-year postdoctoral positions with significant independence and resources. The KIC Fellows program is designed to attract the best and brightest young researchers in nanoscale science to Cornell. They will have access to the unparalleled resources and faculty available at Cornell in nanoscale science and technology. Fellows will work in partnership with Cornell faculty sponsors on projects consistent with the KIC mission.
